18-Wheeler Crashes in Texas

For people in smaller cars, a collision with a large commercial truck can mean total devastation and life-changing injuries. According to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Texas had 643 truck-related fatalities in 2020. In all, 342 of these incidents involved other drivers, and 108 of the fatalities were passengers in other cars. It should come as no surprise that over half of these fatal collisions occurred at speeds higher than 65 miles per hour. There are many things that can go wrong when traveling on the road, and many of us are anxious when we share the road with commercial rigs.
